Question

The group of hikers walked 9.75 miles in 3 hours. Maintaining the same pace, how many miles will they cover in 4 hours?

Answer 1

I believe 13 miles.

Explanation:

Set up a ratio since it will be at the same pace.

9.75 miles/3 hours = x miles/4 hours

Cross multiply to solve for x.

9.75 (4) = 3x

39 = 3x

So x = 13 miles.
